Complete Immediate Paraplegia Reversal after Performing Aorto–Lumbar Bypass on the Patient who Underwent Aortoiliac Reconstruction

Abstract

Although both internal iliac arteries were saved during operation, the patient developed paraplegia immediately after aortoiliac reconstruction due to the spinal cord ischemia. We report a successfully treated immediate postoperative paraplegia by performing second operation and creating bypass from the bifurcated Dacron graft to the previously detected nonpaired huge lumbar artery. © 2016 Elsevier Inc.
